Our best estimate for a 5-axis machining center in this class — not a quote from DN Solutions. Configuration moves it a long way.

Overview

The DN Solutions DCM 2780 U is the slimmest way into DN's 8,250 mm (325 in) X-travel class. Its table is 8,100 × 2,200 mm (319 × 87 in), Y travel is 3,200 mm (126 in) and Z is 1,000 mm (39 in). Table load is 40,000 kg (88,185 lb) and the machine weighs 82,000 kg (180,779 lb), which makes it the lightest of the DCM U models built on this bed length.

Four DCM U machines in DN's table share the 8,250 mm (325 in) stroke, and they differ in width. The DCM 3280 U has 3,700 mm (146 in) of Y, an 8,100 × 2,700 mm (319 × 106 in) table and weighs 99,000 kg (218,258 lb). The DCM 3780 U reaches 4,400 mm (173 in) of Y at 117,000 kg (257,941 lb), and the DCM 4280 U 5,000 mm (197 in) at 130,000 kg (286,601 lb). The DCM 3280 U, DCM 3780 U and DCM 4280 U are each rated for 45,000 kg (99,208 lb), so the narrowest machine, at 40,000 kg (88,185 lb), gives away a little table load and nothing in length. It also keeps the quicker axes: Y at 20 m/min (787 ipm) and Z at 15 m/min (591 ipm), where the DCM 3780 U lists 18 m/min (709 ipm) and 10 m/min (394 ipm).

That profile fits work that is long first and everything else second. Rails, girders, long machine frames and the tooling for them all fit a table more than three and a half times as long as it is wide. X rapid is 16 m/min (630 ipm), and the W axis moves at 3 m/min (118 ipm). DN lists 1,610 mm (63 in) from spindle nose to table.

The spindle is a 15,000 rpm HSK-A100 unit with 46/34 kw (62/46 hp) and 146 N·m (108 ft-lb), fed by 40 tools. Installation length is the figure to plan around: 19,710 × 7,730 × 7,700 mm (776 × 304 × 303 in). The DCM 2780 F II is listed with the same table and load, 700 mm (28 in) of Z and a weight of 77,000 kg (169,756 lb).

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

8,250 mm (325 in) of X travel with an 8,100 mm (319 in) long table
40,000 kg (88,185 lb) table load at a machine weight of 82,000 kg (180,779 lb)
Faster Y and Z rapids than the DCM 3780 U: 20 m/min (787 ipm) and 15 m/min (591 ipm) against 18 m/min (709 ipm) and 10 m/min (394 ipm)
Installed width of 7,730 mm (304 in), in keeping with the 2,200 mm (87 in) table
1,000 mm (39 in) of Z, where the DCM 2780 F II has 700 mm (28 in)

Limitations

The table is 2,200 mm (87 in) wide; the DCM 3280 U offers 2,700 mm (106 in) on the same length
Table load is 40,000 kg (88,185 lb), below the 45,000 kg (99,208 lb) of the DCM 3280 U
The installation is 19,710 mm (776 in) long
A 16 m/min (630 ipm) X rapid makes end-to-end moves on an 8,250 mm (325 in) stroke slow
40 tools and 146 N·m (108 ft-lb) of spindle torque

Best For

Long structural parts, rails and frames up to 8,100 mm (319 in) Loads up to 40,000 kg (88,185 lb) on a narrow table Long bays where a 7,730 mm (304 in) machine width has to fit beside other equipment High-speed finishing of long surfaces at 15,000 rpm

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How does the DCM 2780 U differ from the DCM 3280 U?

Both have 8,250 mm (325 in) of X and 1,000 mm (39 in) of Z with the same rapids and spindle. The DCM 3280 U has 3,700 mm (146 in) of Y, an 8,100 × 2,700 mm (319 × 106 in) table, a 45,000 kg (99,208 lb) load and weighs 99,000 kg (218,258 lb). The DCM 2780 U has 3,200 mm (126 in) of Y, an 8,100 × 2,200 mm (319 × 87 in) table, a 40,000 kg (88,185 lb) load and weighs 82,000 kg (180,779 lb).

02 How much shop length does a DCM 2780 U take?

The machine is listed at 19,710 mm (776 in) long, 7,730 mm (304 in) wide and 7,700 mm (303 in) high. That length is well over twice the 8,250 mm (325 in) X travel, so lay out the bay, the crane run and the chip handling around it before ordering.

03 Is there a longer DCM U than the DCM 2780 U?

Yes, but not in this width. The DCM 37100 U has 10,250 mm (404 in) of X with 4,400 mm (173 in) of Y, a 10,100 × 3,200 mm (398 × 126 in) table and a 45,000 kg (99,208 lb) load, and it weighs 125,000 kg (275,578 lb).

04 What load and part size does the DCM 2780 U handle?

Up to 40,000 kg (88,185 lb) on an 8,100 × 2,200 mm (319 × 87 in) table. DN gives 1,610 mm (63 in) from spindle nose to table and 1,000 mm (39 in) of Z travel, with a W axis listed in addition.

05 What are the spindle figures for the DCM 2780 U?

15,000 rpm, 46/34 kw (62/46 hp), 146 N·m (108 ft-lb) and an HSK-A100 taper, with a 40-tool magazine. For the series as a whole DN mentions a range of ram-type spindles and auto-change head attachments.
